New Scholarship for MaryJoy

We asked Leah if she would serve as our volunteer liaison in the Philippines and find potential candidates for a scholarship as a nonprofit. In 2015, Leah found three potential candidates.

Jolie taught political science courses at the Asian University for Women in Chittagong, Bangladesh, before joining the faculty at Allegheny.
